So get this, according to the Miami Herald, Miami Beach will be the first American city to host Sleepless Nights, a night where restaurants, hotels, bars and clubs will be open all night from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. and fashion shows, art exhibits and performances will be happening. It is scheduled to happen Saturday, November 3, and will be divided into four zones: North Beach, Collins Park, Lincoln Road and Ocean Drive. It is modeled after a Parisian event that was later copied by cities like Rome, Madrid and Toronto. What I fail to see is what makes this any different from a regular Saturday night in Miami Beach? Aren't most things opened until 5 a.m. anyway? I mean maybe not restaurants, but I fail to see what's so great about this. What they are going to get is a bunch of drunk Kendallites running around all night long.

STEAMIEST SPA
Where: Hotel Victor, Miami Beach 
Ideal for: Adventurous, exhibitionist couples with South Beach–ready bods. Sexiest detail: The saucy steam room that's both coed and clothing-optional. The lure: André Balazs may have opened South Beach's first official spa hotel, the Standard on Belle Isle, but Uma's beau wasn't brave enough to go all the way: The coed steam room there is prudishly swimsuit-required. The 500-square-foot version at the Hotel Victor's spa, however, is strictly a bikini-free zone—and all the better for it. The shy but spa-curious can book a treatment such as the clay and olive oil cleansing Hammam V ($250), which is performed in a private Turkish-style hammam with a heated marble bed just off the main area. 
Sexiness factor: As steamy as a Grey's Anatomy ménage à trois. Hotel Victor Tel: 305 428 1234 Doubles from $375

Sultry, seductive Miami entertains many identities: snowbird refuge, retiree haven, celebrity playground, immigrant stop-off and tourist mecca. All undeniably accurate, they're telling descriptors of everything this dazzling city embraces. They're also indicative of the melting-pot culture that has come to define South Florida, an area originally dismissed by developers. The region later found purpose as a resort destination for the wealthy and as farm land for Florida's first settlers (or "Crackers"). These initial roles ultimately led to today's Miami, a capital of commerce, recreation and self-assertive flamboyance.

But what else could you ask of a sub-tropical wonderland washed by brilliant southern light and kissed by enveloping seas? As recently as the early 20th century, America's Riviera was largely a backwater. Its potential was finally brought to fruition by the advent and arrival of the railroad, promise of a year-round growing season, and the emerging leisure class's disposable income. These days, easy access is a given, and agriculture flourishes, but Miami's natural beauty – and its world-class restaurants and nightlife – most strongly render it a fashionable escape for fun and freedom.

Miami Beach has a rich history as a trend setting arts center, from the world famous nightclubs of the 50's, to the rich cultural life of today's modern South Beach. The City of Miami Beach has an identity that is intrinsically linked to the arts, and today our entertainment, production and arts communities are stronger than ever. Miami Beach is truly a major international entertainment and cultural destination.
